Local Business Needs Donations Of Toys

First American Cash Advance, Check Advance and Purpose Financial are a 2005-2006 National Sponsor for the U.S. Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.

All 508 stores, located in 17 states, are collection centers for new, unwrapped toys and cash donations.

New, unwrapped toys will be collected at the store through Dec. 12 and will remain in this area, according to local participant L. Shafer.

A representative at each local U.S. Marine Toys for Tots center will pick up all toys on or about Dec. 12 and will distribute them to children throughout the local area.

Monetary donations will also be collected at the local store. The donations will be totaled up and a check will be presented to the U.S. Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.

"I am asking you to do all that you can to help us collect for the Toys for Tots cause," said Shafer. "All proceeds benefit Toys for Tots (Tax ID #22 305 0009). If anyone wants to donate to the U.S. Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, they can stop by our store at 201 W.
